Description

Made in the final years of Lovis Corinth’s life, this self-portrait shows him standing in his studio with his wife, Charlotte, posed behind him in the nude with shaded features. Corinth had suffered a stroke in 1911, but with the help of Charlotte he continued to make art focusing largely on his family life. Charlotte’s presence indicates her importance to him as both supporter and muse.
A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts two people in an interior. On the left, a woman with dark hair stands facing toward us. To her right, a man in a suit jacket looks to our right while sketching in a small book. Behind them, a horned skull hangs on the wall. Dense hatching creates heavy shadows across the figures and an easel on our right. Handwritten inscriptions appear in the lower margin.
